The SF State program strives to be collaborative, actively engaging students and faculty in the pursuit of sustainable business and seeking out others who share the same passion for building the business case for sustainability. SF State is an active campus with several groups dedicated to sustainability. But above all, the goal is to perpetuate a program built to groom great leaders and great team members. The program attracts students who want to take valuable skills learned from an MBA and apply them to solving real-world problems in creative, sustainable ways.
San Francisco State University was the first California state university to offer an MBA with an emphasis in Sustainable Business, which was later upgraded to a full Concentration in Sustainable Business. Students from around the world come to SF State to pursue an AACSB-accredited MBA degree and grow skills to assist in transforming mainstream business. SF State offers a unique program that provides students with an in-depth appreciation of the environmental and social dimensions of conducting business in a global market. Candidates pursuing the Concentration take core MBA courses in management, finance, marketing, operations, accounting, and information systems, plus additional courses focused on sustainability. For these reasons, in 2011, SF State’s MBA was recognized by the Aspen Institute’s Beyond Grey Pinstripes ranking as number 16 among the world’s top sustainability-oriented business schools.
Nearly every class in the MBA program strives to incorporate social and environmental themes. There are also opportunities for students to enroll in independent study courses to research emerging sustainable business opportunities. There are five full-time faculty in the Sustainable Business Concentration with interests in the areas of corporate voluntary environmental initiatives, the impact of businesses on the natural environment, institutionalized incentives for corporate social and environmental responsibility, business ethics and corporate social responsibility, and agricultural practices, environmental changes, and land use. These professors form the Center for Ethical and Sustainable Business (CESB), which organizes events like a Sustainable Business Boot Camp with external speakers and a faculty panel discussion on sustainability-related courses.

is better than [email protected]SF State MBA students are active, outgoing, passionate, and collaborative. Sustainability is not only a concentration but also a cultural and educational focus of our program. Clubs strive to connect sustainability-minded
students and business leaders through tours, speaker series, and networking events. Net Impact is the most active of all groups on the business school campus. Founded in 2008, its mission is to bring fresh ideas and a cross- disciplinary perspective to promoting the causes of Net Impact. The chapter goals are to increase participation in a variety of sustainability-related events, expand its professional network, and improve members’ knowledge and skills relevant to sustainability.
This year, it conducted several tours, including tours to the LEED Platinum- certified Packard Foundation Building, Recology, Clif Bar, TCHO Chocolate Factory, and other businesses to learn how they incorporate sustainability. It also invited speakers from EDF, Calvert Investments, and Good Guide and partnered with Net Impact Central for the Net Impact Conference, sending 25 students to the event. The faculty is also committed to sustainability in the curriculum. Through the Center for Ethical and Sustainable Business (CESB), they have helped foster a community of socially responsible business students.
Each semester the SF State MBA program offers student-centric employer presentations and information sessions. The College of Business, the MBA Net Impact chapter, and the CESB host several alumni panels and guest speakers each semester that expose students to peers’ entrepreneurial ventures, networking opportunities, and job hunting advice. All three parties place a great emphasis on networking and networking skills and have incorporated an efficient and helpful social media outreach campaign to help streamline access to potential job offerings. The Net Impact chapter at SF State regularly hosts sustainable career mixers in conjunction with the CESB and other Bay Area Net Impact chapters.
The College of Business also offers career services and career preparation on campus. The program has hired a highly regarded business leadership consultant who holds regular advisory sessions and events. She provides one-on-one sessions with students, as well as regular career workshops in advising on everything from resume writing to interview, negotiation, and etiquette skills. Students are also required to attend an all-day communications workshop, which polishes presentation and other
communications skills. SF State’s internal job board is an excellent resource for internship and job postings for students on a self-directed trek.
